IN my experience the folks you want are not dealer employees, but independents. I'll find out if the guy who helped me is willing to allow me to disclose his name publicly. He did superb work on my recent reentry into 'the life' and is known as one of the best. And, yes, he is in NYC>
Which NYC Dealers REALLY know how to setup a TT?
I live in Manhattan. I want to purchase a new turntable, arm and cartridge.
I'm willing to spend up to $5,000, maybe $6,000 tops for everything.
From long nights of reading MANY post online here and elsewhere I feel that even more important than a particular brand etc., the dealer must really know how to setup a turntable properly. I'am all thumbs when it comes to this stuff and have accidentally trashed my share of cartridges over the years!
Therefore it is very important to me that a dealer really knows how to setup a turntable, arm and cartridge properly so I can get the most out of what I pay for.
Can people who have actual experience with NYC dealers please steer me in the right direction? Thank you.
